Do you bring a small ladder to the wedding?

<p>I use a small fold up 12" stool for the reception and keep a larger fold up 2 step in the trunk of my camera just in case. They were life savers for the two Jewish weddings I shot where there was a ton of crazy dancing I had to get above the packed dance floor to get anything decent.<br>

However, I have to get a new smaller one as at the last wedding it broke while I was on it (the weight limit was 300lbs, so I know I didn't exceed but it just all of a sudden gave way) Luckily it was during a loud song and no one noticed except for the two guests who caught me by the arm.<br>

I do like to get up high and will sometimes get up on chairs, but I usually feel like this is distracting, plus there is the extra hassle of having to check with someone at the venue first (otherwise they may give you nasty looks for getting your feet on their chairs or ask you to step down)</p>

<p>Got two ladders.<br>

A small one that I use for posing and props along with cases and big one for reception</p>

<p>I always take a small three step ladder, it has wide rungs and is very easy on the feet and sturdy. Primary use it during shooting groups especially when they are on steps.</p>

<p>I don't have one but maybe I should--I'm only 5'2"! For now I've just gotten up on chairs, tables etc -- this is obviously during the reception. ;-)</p>
